  • if you get something for less then £5 and you pay with a blinkie can you still use the 250 extra points vouchers?

    I did today but think it is product dependent or SA dependent. Bought 2 different clearance products at £4.53 each, the 250 points voucher scanned on one but not the other. On another occasion No 7 SA said you can't use blinkie and points coupon in same transaction so now I just go to normal tills.

    I think it depends on whether they have a clearance sticker on them or they are reduced on the SEL. Im sure people were saying that the ones with the stickers werent working with the points vouchers, but if they were reduced on the SEL then they were going through ok.

  • No sign of any boots order for me as yet so its looking less hopefull by the day, as it was due for tomorrow. If anyone has spare of No 7 Party purse, The No 7 travel big bag with umbrella or a liplucious set, I would be most grateful Or if indeed anyone see's them on their travels, I would glady arrange payment and postage if they could pick any of them up.
    Thanks Kath
    PS Hope your son is doing ok Sandra.

    I phoned .com on friday to check on my order, as I hadn't heard a dicky bird since checkout on 14th lol. Was told it's in the warehouse and still on for delivery on 19th. Not half hour later got an email saying delivery would now be on 21st (and saying will refund my delivery costs for the inconvenience
    :rolleyes: how do you refund free?)

    Then got an email saying my order was despatched giving delivery of 19th with tracking numbers via HDN. Checked the numbers on HDN and it had no trace. :confused:

    So I am half expecting delivery tomorrow and half expecting
    it on Wed. :o


    Clacton on Sea only has wrapping paper and xmas cards in the empty-shelved 75% section. Some (not many) suncream on the clearance for £6.50 and some reductions on the straightener gift sets (hand written sticky labels knocking a couple of quid off) No signs for 100 pts on Pantene etc (and no 97p sachets)

    If I hadn't had to go there anyway I would have been disappointed!

    Colchester again wrapping paper and those mugs with dogs/cats in and the accessorize? bags (this was on friday so may be gone now lol)

    Just a thought; if you've bought any of the foodstuffs, check the best before date as some are quite close (mar 09 on the banana split sets for example)

    Hi all 90% sale starts on Weds 28th Jan
  • The SA I spoke to in Sheffield (Fargate) said that staff were allowed in at 7am before doors opened to the public at 8am, last Wednesday morning.

    She also told me that a SA from Hillborough branch of Boots (smaller store) snuck in and tried to grab a few bargains, but was found out and given a severe telling off!!
  • Bournemouth Castlepoint store : Bare shelves apart from wrapping paper & Gilette razor & radio (i think!) set - Some No7 clearance towards the front of the store but seems like all the good sale stuff has been put back in storage as there was LOADS of stuff there the day before 75% kicked in......

    HTH

    Bought the reduced no7 tanning stuff - reduced on SEL rather than a sticker. The SA was v. helpful but the 250 points wouldn't go through.

    just to add clacton only had those items left a week before the 75% sale they never have much in for christmas.

    colchester stanway only has 5/6 of those big green mugs at the back of the store and they still have the signs for 50% off on.

    colchester town centre, has loads of mg sets that were 20quid with the belt in, hackett sets with a hankie, hackett sets with a flask thing, simpsons usb lamps, dennis mouse mats and mousemat and a few mens boots aromatics sets were 8 quid, plus loads of wrapping paper. been today :D

    frinton only has 3 boxes of wrapping paper left also found nothing else in there but is a tiny store

    harwich, absolute carp as usual not worth walking into unless you need a prescription

    not sure if that helps anyone at all though lol

    also got 4 of the bronzer mousse with blinkys and paid 40p for each with 250 points back each time.manually added :D
    coupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there
